The overall aim of the Swedish History Days is to encourage contacts and exchanges between professionals from different professions related to the subject of history, and history enthusiasts in general, and thus increase the historical knowledge of as many groups in society as possible. The ambition is therefore to present historical subjects and historical research in a way that maintains a popular science level but is also easily accessible to non-specialist participants. For many history teachers, the History Days are the main opportunity for continuing education, especially in terms of reconnecting with the research community, and for historians, this forum is an opportunity to make new research results available. Many of the lectures are published in printed form.
